Necklace made up of hammered circles in 24 K gold-plated brass and Lapis Lazuli stone beads. The blue ceramics, starfish and fish, are decorated with third-fire gold. Decoration with third-firing gold is an ancient technique that involves the use of liquid gold (18 K) applied with a brush on top of vitrified ceramics. Decorating with gold with third firing (third firing) is an ancient technique that is performed on ceramics by applying liquid gold mixed with a fondant with a brush. At a temperature of 750° centigrade, the gold is welded to the vitrified body of the ceramic. The gold used for our ceramics is 18 carats.
All our jewelery is handmade. The clay, white terracotta, is fired in a ceramic oven at 1000°C.
The second firing with colors and glazes takes place at 920°C. The base of the pomegranate dangle earrings is made of gold-plated brass.
The plating is 1 micron of 24 karat gold, hypoallergenic as it excludes the use of nickel in the manufacturing phases. Gold plating is widely used in jewelry making. A base metal, usually brass, is used and covered with gold (between 14 and 24 carats) using an electrical or chemical process.
To determine the quality of a gold-plated jewel, you must consider the thickness of the applied gold which is measured in microns. The minimum quantity is 0.3 microns and this quantity is generally referred to as flash plating.
The greater the quantity of microns used, the greater the resistance and durability of the plating. Our jewels have a 1 micron 24 carat gold plating which allows them to be worn for a long time while maintaining the same brilliance.
This duration is also influenced by some external factors which can be controlled with some care and attention.
Some precious tips for taking care of and keeping your plated jewel perfect over time:
• Store it in a dry place, possibly in a soft case to avoid scratches •
• Do not wear it while bathing or showering •
• Remove your jewel during a shower sporting activity •
• Remove your jewelery before going to sleep •
• Avoid contact with cosmetic products (soaps, perfumes, creams…) •
